That's not the impression I'm getting...In the two games I've watched (Adams and Topalov (the second)) he has utterly outplayed his opponents in drawn-looking endgames. Speaking of which, in the Topalov game the other day, his move 59. Ke3 was a huge blunder, leading to mate. However, it seemed he had drawing chances (at least to keep it close for a while...) even up to that move. Here is the position: 3Q4/8/p3p3/P3Pp1p/1P1P3P/2k2K2/8/3q w - - I'm curious what the other computers think. I've run it on Crafty, and even after 3 hours of search black only has about a pawn advantage. Now I'll have to look at those games and get back to you. My first thought is that you kind of conradicted yourself, because if Topalov made a "huge blunder" how can that mean he was "utterly outplayed"? Furthermore, you write that "it seemed he had drawing chances", but on the other hand you thought it was a "drawn looking" endgame. regards, Michael
